Episode notes
The sources discuss the impact of Hurricane Helene on the housing markets in Florida, particularly in the Tampa Bay area. Several articles note that, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and previous hurricanes, home prices tend to increase, as wealthier buyers move in and take advantage of the reduced housing supply. However, this influx of wealthier buyers can displace longtime residents, causing a shift in the social fabric of the community. The articles also highlight the challenges faced by homeowners with limited resources and how insurance rates and government assistance contribute to these trends.
